CRISPY CHICKEN WITH SPICY PEAR CRANBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- Put the drumettes and chicken legs into separate shallow dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 2 rosemary sprigs to each dish. Drain the pears and save the juice and pears. Reserve 2 tablespoons juice for the salad dressing. Pour the remaining juice from 1 can of pears over each dish and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the reserved 2 tablespoons pear juice, lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When you are ready to fry the chicken, heat an inch of canola oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F. Put the flour into a shallow dish and season it well with cayenne, salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the chicken dry and coat with the flour mixture. Let them rest on a plate while the oil gets hot. Fry the chicken in batches. Drain them on paper towels and keep warm.
- While the chicken is cooking, add the marinade to a medium pot. Pick out the rosemary sprigs, add the shallots and bring to a boil. Cook until the marinade has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the pears and cook until they are hot. Pour the mixture into a blender, add the cranberry jelly and butter, and puree carefully as it is hot. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If it is too thin, put it back into the pan and reduce it a bit.
- Pour some of the spicy pear sauce onto a plate and place the chicken legs or drummettes on top. Toss the arugula with the dressing and put a small pile onto each plate.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or canned cranberries, but they will not have the same flavor.
- Make your own cranberry sauce: Homemade cranberry sauce is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for homemade cranberry sauce in the article.
- Use a variety of spices: Chicken with cranberry sauce is a great way to experiment with different spices. Try adding some cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the sauce for a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken with cranberry sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Chicken with cranberry sauce is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can make a delicious and memorable chicken with cranberry sauce dish that your family and friends will love.
